Mom:  I don't want all of yours!  It's too heavy...Oh, the air's blowing on me now.

Stupid tree rat!  (Some people may choose to call it a "squirrel".)

'Seglac Run.' Who is Seglac?  Watch Seglac run.  Run from what?  Hedgehog.  Seglac run from Hedgehog. 

Look how big that building be!  You could get lost in there for a week!

They can't control me.  They try to mold you, change you and control you.  I don't want to be molded, changed and especially controlled.  They better beat up another tree.
